I mean who wouldn’t want to move on? But while we are here why should we stand for a non union shop? Not in this industry we won’t.

I don’t think it’s hate, I think most are just annoyed with the holier than thou arrogance most OO pilots seem to possess. Especially on the 170. My bad 175.

They will correct you right away....

“Actually we only have 175s”

Also apparently they are the largest operator of Ejets according to their recruiters that go around to college programs

Maybe not the largest E170/175 operator but they would be the largest E175 operator. That is until RPA gets their next 100.

But then that goes back to the fact that there is no such thing as a 175... it's a 170-200

I honesty don’t think OO pilots understand that there’s no such thing as a 175. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of them are writing in 175 under aircraft type in their logbooks. All it is is a marketing term.

I think that's more of a stereo type, most OO pilots are down to earth guys (minus maybe salt lake guys) I agree they should unionize, but are you really going to scrutinize someone because they are a west coast guy wanting a west coast airline (kinda). You guys a have a better contract right now, what's with the jealousy?

I don’t think it’s jealousy for me. I talk **** on Skywest aiming it towards their management for the sake of our brothers and sisters who would like to be union over there

That is very true as well! Very low down dirty marketing if that is really what they are saying to students.

Once your pilot group unionizes and stops reaping the benefits of what other unionized pilot groups have fought for your group would probably be respected a lot more. You guys deserve more than what your management is giving you.
